Bill, and I'm curious: when do you expect...

this post of yours to become true?....

http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=78608

Are you profiting, as you have indicated on RB earlier, from SEVU's price dropping?...

There is one thing I try to do when I become sour on a stock: sell and get out of the way, rather than try to use my past credibility as a long, to argue the short side... You just can't do both without shooting any remaining credibility to pieces and becoming "Bill the Opportunist"...

JMHO, F. Goelo + + +

Bill:

In answer to your question, correct audit procedures would be pulling the voucher/check copy along with supporting invoice, purchase order (if applicable), verification of proper approval of the invoice, and all other Company policies and approval requirements, all the way through verification of the cancelled check.

While it is not the OUTSIDE auditors responsibility to chastise the customers for stupid or excessive expenditures, which questions are to be inqured about by an INTERNAL audit procedure, certainly SOMEONEshoul have pointed out that......
oh what the hell! Why beat this dead horse.

The new spin will be "we made mistakes in the past..." "this new team will turn things around..." ya-dah, ya-dah, ya-dah,
blah, blah, blah and y'all will eat it up.

The only thing is, not for long. Unless someone can answer my questions of yesterday about the figures showing zero accounts
receivable (except some trivial amounts from management) as of 12/31/00, (yes, zero) and 41K cash in the bank, no one is going to have to worry too long!

I really question those revised financials.

In the meantime, thank you ELON, for your performance this week. Now to sleep, perchance to dream (of 3$/gl. gasoline?)

Bill, did you consider the back orders for SEVU? What if these numbers were "included" in the revenue equation? Wouldn't this make the advertising justifiable?

Seems to me that it is money well spent that did not show up on FY 2000 revenue. I believe we will see huge revenue for almost no advertising money in FY 2001.

Yes, there is a potential conflict of interest, but there is also the potential for great savings. Tough call from an outsiders perspective and unless you email SEVU, don't expect and answer.

By the way, Rich already stated on this board that all these questions should be emailed to SEVU, so don't expect a response from him. And hey, this goes for you to KEN. Rich knows how to get on with his life and get on with future business. I feel sorry for everybody living in the past, please learn from it, but don't live there. Live in the present and hope/plan for the future.

JMHO, TAfirehawk
